    What has Gruinard ever done to deserve that? I like the idea of aerobatics without straps in the back.

    Maybe if I sneek in before the airfield opens, then no one will notice me and I will not have to pay. Hahaha!

    would it be too obvious too suggest 23:00 the previous night, when the lights are out? 😮

    or is it ruprechts lights that are out?

    I’ve never visited the 602 museum myself, maybe we should arrange a forum visit? They have a page at http://www.2175atc.co.uk/602.html

    They changed the flightline for the airshow a couple of years ago, and now use the runway for parking. So, as RadarArchive points out, nothing operates from EF for the airshow. As for the static, they tend to get only one or two aircraft in addition to the collection, and they usually arrive on the Friday. The collection itself is always worth a visit, you’ve been before haven’t you?.

    To get there from Prestwick: train to Glasgow Central, train from Glasgow Queen St to Edinburgh Waverley, then bus to EF. The EF website gives the following bus info.

    By bus
    Service no. 121 (Don Prentice Travel), runs between Haddington and North Berwick approximately eight times per day. Regular bus services run from Edinburgh to North Berwick, and an express bus service from Edinburgh to Haddington. Call Traveline 0870 608 2 608 for timetable details.

    In Glasgow all we have is LA198 at the Transport Museum. The 602 museum at Hillington is only open by special arrangment.

    Pity you are arriving midweek, or I could have met you and given a lift up to EF. But if you are stopping in Glasgow then drop a line and maybe meet up for a coffee.

    90 mins drive west from EDI would get you past Glasgow, possibly as far as Dumbarton, so it could be argued that the most of the Central Belt falls within your definition. Hence looks like figures would be well over 2m.

    Dare I ask where Kylie is…? 😮

    probably safer not to, given the smile 😮

    Remember, R has trouble telling the Isles of Wight and Man apart… so what faith in his aircraft recognition 🙂

    As for Steph’s question, I’m not a pilot but would probably have taken similar action to modify my course.

    DaveTend to agree with Plazz and his sentiments. However, it would be nice to see the sort of displays the RAF used to give a few years back, with ground attack demonstrations, multiple fly-bys and proper airfield breaks.

    Leuchars is promising a ground attack scenario this year, from their website http://www.airshow.co.uk/

    A thrilling display of air power simulating an airfield attack. Watch Tornado F3 fighters (43 (F) Sqn) scramble to defend RAF Leuchars, with Tornado GR4 bombers (14 Sqn) and Hawk T1A fighters (100 Sqn) posing as the enemy.

    Although Leuchars also list 3 separate F16’s in the flying display

    Stewart, some nice shots there. I like the Hurricane. Keep it up.
